Experienced Car Accident Attorneys Serving Nassau County, NY
Each year more than two million people are injured or killed in car accidents. Statistics show that every person is likely to be involved in at least one car accident in their lifetime. Nassau roads and highways can be particularly dangerous and car accident injuries pose a significant risk to all motorists. At Palermo Law, our car accident firm is dedicated to representing individuals in Nassau that have suffered serious injuries as a result of another motorist’s negligent driving.
We have litigated hundreds of Nassau County car accident cases in the last twenty years. As a result, we have become very skilled at all aspects of car accident litigation, including no-fault and property damage claims.
Therefore, if you have suffered injuries in a car accident it is a good idea to consult with a car accident attorney as soon as possible. Hiring an experienced attorney early on in the process will help protect your legal rights, ensure your medical bills and lost wages are paid, and give you an advantage building a strong personal injury case. An early investigation will also help preserve key evidence in your case.
Act Soon to Meet Compensation Deadlines
In Nassau, after you’ve been in an auto accident, you have only thirty days to file for no-fault insurance benefits. Medical bills and lost wages are paid through no-fault insurance. Failing to file in time can result in denial of your no-fault benefits and may make you personally responsible for these bills.
But there are benefits beyond no-fault insurance coverage, so filing a car accident bodily injury claim would be the next step. In auto accident cases there is generally a three-year statute of limitations to initiate a lawsuit. However, that time period may be reduced to as little as 90 days if your car accident involves a municipal entity such as a town owned vehicle or school bus. So, it’s best to consult with a car accident lawyer as soon as possible.
$5.5 Million Dollar
Landmark Victory
In a case that garnered a great deal of media attention, Long Island personal injury attorney Steven Palermo took on the State of New York on behalf of a young woman that was assaulted by a mistakenly released convicted sexual predator. It is the first time in the history of New York that the State was held liable for the mistaken release of a prisoner and also led to changes in the way the courts process their records.

justice they deserve.
Two decades ago, Steven Palermo began his legal practice with one objective: to help those in need obtain the justice they deserve. It was not long before he was taking on huge corporations and billion-dollar insurance companies, fighting for just that.
Early on, he learned that the field of personal injury law was one that required laser focus – it was the only way to navigate the huge companies who viewed his clients as nothing but a number on a page, but had seemingly limitless resources to fight against paying them what they deserved. Steven has since devoted all his efforts to the aggressive practice of personal injury litigation, and it is a strategy that works. He has helped hundreds of clients regain their lives after devastating personal injuries.

“...cannot be happier with our decision!”
Steven Palermo was referred to us from a friend and I cannot be happier with our decision. He worked hard to obtain a settlement to compensate for pain I had to undergo as a result of an accident. I will continue to refer anyone in need of a car accident attorney to this office! Thanks Palermo for everything!
